Is Britain truly an independent power, or has it become a vassal state of the United States? From the "America tax" levied by Silicon Valley giants to a critical reliance on US energy and the Federal Reserve, the UK's sovereignty is increasingly called into question. While arguments for a radical "divorce" to reclaim technological and military autonomy clash with the hard economic realities of a middle power, the cultural absorption of British politics into American online discourse suggests the transformation may already be complete.

To debate whether the UK can ever escape Washington's orbit, Professor Helen Thompson, UnHerd columnist Mary Harrington and Novara Media’s Aaron Bastani join UnHerd's Freddie Sayers to chart the US-ification of our everyday lives, and what happens next.
